Jamie Hersch

Jamie is happy to call the Midwest home once again. Born and raised in the suburbs of Minneapolis, she went all the way to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California, where she graduated magna cum laude.

Her work at USC's Annenberg TV News earned her a third place finish in the National Hearst Journalism Awards competition.

Jamie joined the 27 News team in August 2009, and moved into the sports department in January 2011, as the weekend sports anchor. Her work in the sports department has already earned her an award from the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association in sports reporting.

She is an avid Trojans football fan but couldn't be happier to cover some of the best teams in the country: the Badgers, Packers and Brewers.

With a dual degree in broadcast journalism and religious studies, Jamie enjoys meeting people of all different backgrounds and beliefs.

She enjoys telling the stories of Madison and can't wait to hear yours!
